"Yeah, I just heard that your range hood rang for a while. It turned out to be Xiaomi who came back."
An old lady from a neighbor's house rushed out of the room with a kitchen knife. Mr. Li was stunned and thought she was going to stab someone with the knife.
"I thought your house was broken into."
The old lady held two green onions in her hand and smiled apologetically.
"Grandma Zheng."
Xia Mi responded calmly.
"Who is this?"
The old lady nodded, and then looked curiously at the handsome boy walking side by side with Xia Mi, after the black robe burned in the subway.
Mr. Li changed into a black uniform and looked like a tough guy like a bodyguard or a soldier.
"Xia Ya's boyfriend."
Mr. Li naturally put his hands on the beautiful girl's shoulders, and then moved her body closer to his arms.
Xia Mi's fair cheeks showed a hint of blush, and she smoothed her hair around her ears and temples like a little woman.
"Oh, young man, you are so discerning. You can't find many beautiful girls like Xiao Mi in the whole city. I even want to introduce her to my grandson on a blind date."
The old lady clapped her hands and smiled, while Mr. Li suppressed his frivolous smile.
"Your grandson?"
"Yes, my grandson is the chief physician of a tertiary hospital, but he is too busy as a doctor and can never find time to talk to someone. That is why I forced him to go on a blind date this year.
As a result, guess what, these two people who were on a blind date matched all the conditions, and they actually saw each other, and they will prepare to get married next year." The old lady smiled in a show-off tone, and looked at it with regret after finishing her words.
Xia Mi has beautiful and delicate eyes and facial features.
This girl is really impeccable in appearance. As an old man, she always wants to leave the best things to her grandchildren.
"Are you almost thirty? It's normal for an elderly person to be anxious to have a grandson."
Mr. Li made a sarcastic comment.
In terms of human age, Xia Mi is still in the second year of high school. He introduces a sixteen-year-old girl to his grandson who is almost thirty years old. If an adult man dares to say such things in front of him, Mr. Li can give him a chance.
I can't even get up even if I can slap him.
"You won't live here anymore? I think Xiaomi has come back less in the past two years." The old lady's face darkened, and she leaned against the door frame with a kitchen knife and looked at the expressions of the two people.
"Probably won't come back." Mr. Li responded with a smile.
They are still young, there is no stable source of income, and they are probably short of money for consumption at this moment.
Moreover, I have also inquired about it, and she is now the only one who can make the decision in Xia Mi's family.
I don't want to take advantage of them, just buy the house at the market price.
The old lady rolled her eyes a few times and made several calculations in her mind before she spoke.
"That's just right, Xiaomi. My grandson is getting married to his blind date and wants to buy another house. I see real estate agents posting advertisements at your house all day long. If you want to sell your house, it's better to sell it to an agency than to me.
After all, we are all neighbors. For the sake of grandma taking care of you for so many years, let’s just be quick and sell it at the market price. This real estate has been in recession in recent years, and I think it has reached its peak. If we don’t sell it, we can only
Waiting for house prices to suffer losses.”
Mrs. Zheng looked at Xia Mi and said.
Just as the girl was about to say no, she was blocked by a tall figure full of security.
"Grandma Zheng, look at what you said. The feelings of our neighbors belong to the feelings of neighbors. Buying a house belongs to buying a house. Only by putting one code at a time can we explain it clearly."
Mr. Li responded playfully.
"In today's world, even if you buy two green onions, you have to pay half the sky-high price, let alone a big business like selling a house. Just the fraction you cut off is enough to buy green onions for half your life. You have to be more careful, don't you think?"
The young man's tone was respectful, but every word was laced with thorns. It was thanks to the old lady's thick skin that she didn't blush with shame at that moment.
"When Xia Mi's family first moved here, as a neighbor, I sent dumplings to congratulate them on their move."
The old lady curled her lips and immediately became dissatisfied.
"That was almost seven or eight years ago. You have a really good memory."
Mr. Li put his hands on his chest and smiled while watching the old lady's performance.
"Although this house is old, it has a great commemorative meaning to me. I will send someone to clean it regularly in the future, so you don't have to worry about it."
Seeing that the old lady was still trying to argue, Mr. Li didn't bother to talk nonsense with his cheap neighbor anymore. He hugged Xia Mi's slender waist and went straight downstairs.
At this moment, he turned around and looked like a playboy.
"Hey, let me just say that today's young people don't know how to save money. They spend money lavishly and find cleaners to clean. I am an old lady who is just a ready-made labor force. If you say something nice, the salary can be lower.
Yes. I won’t steal anything from your house.”
The old lady muttered, closed the security door, and went back to the house to cook.
"Actually, Mrs. Zheng didn't take more care of me than other neighbors. Just like when we moved, she knocked on my door with only a bowl of dumplings, had a meal and took away five boxes of wedding candies."
Xia Mi babbled and counted with her hands like a real human girl. There were not many characters that even a humanoid dragon king could find weird to her.
Mr. Li listened quietly on the side.
Building No. 31, where Xia Mi lives, is an old building with a red brick exterior, hidden in an old community of high-rise buildings.
It's just the geographical advantage of being located in the capital that makes its value only increase rather than decrease.
It wasn't until they made it all the way downstairs that they looked back at the old building, looking at the concrete balcony and the green-painted wooden windows swaying in the wind, which were mottled and had a sense of age eroded by time.
"Are you angry? Or jealous?"
The girl then looked up at the boy who was hugging her but said nothing.
"nothing."
Mr. Li said calmly, and then looked seriously into Xia Mi's bright eyes.
He has long understood the philistine ethos of the small bourgeoisie, and he also understands the principle of not taking advantage of the bastard. This is not worth his anger at all.
"I just often wonder, how do you survive alone in such a residential building where you need to maintain interpersonal relationships at all times?"
In the residential building, there is a vague smell of cooking coming from the kitchen, and there is also the warmth of parents educating their children.
Each home is full of warmth, but no place is reserved solely for this girl.
"Now that I don't have you anymore, you won't leave me alone, right?"
Xia Mi hugged his arm tightly and shook it with a slightly attached tone, like a couple in love.
Even Mr. Li was in a trance. On one side was Jörmungandr with a cold grin and golden eyes, and on the other was the cute and cute Xia Mi, who showed his little tiger teeth when he smiled.
He can't even tell which side is real, or is it both?
Even if you are an immortal species, you will probably be afraid of loneliness if you stay in human society for a long time.
"So today I will go shopping first, and then I will take you to a big dinner."
Mr. Li touched her head lovingly.
"Okay, I'm very good at eating."
Xia Mi clenched her fists and cheered, then stood up on tiptoes and pecked the young man on the face as a reward.
Mr. Li took out his cell phone and made a call to Si Yao.
"Master." Soon a voice came from the other end.
"I'll give you an address. From now on when this old lady goes out to buy groceries, all vegetable and butcher shops must increase their prices."
Li Longyuan's instructions made Si Yao a little confused. This task seemed... too outrageous, but also too easy.
"Okay, I will definitely do it."
After receiving a positive reply, the young man hung up the phone with satisfaction.
Mad, how can Mr. Li be the type who will retaliate for his anger?
